Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Name all the characters who have AIDS.

Answer: Collins, Roger, Mimi, Angel, April

Collins, Angel, Mimi, and Roger currently have AIDS at the time of the musical, but Roger's late girlfriend April also had AIDS.

2. Who has had a drug problem in the past?

Answer: Roger

Mimi currently has a drug problem, but Roger's problem is in the past.

3. How many of the main characters have funerals on stage?

Answer: 1

Angel dies in late October (her funeral is on Halloween). Later, Mimi dies on Christmas Eve 1990 but comes back within five minutes, so there's no funeral. As we know, April killed herself, but this was before the show begins.

4. Who eventually fixes Maureen's sound equipment for her show?

Answer: Mark

Joanne was hired to do the job, but couldn't. She hired an engineer, who was late. Eventually Mark got everything working.

5. Who left the first voicemail?

Answer: Mark's mom

The very first voicemail comes after the song "Tune Up #1", and starts with "That was a very loud beep. I don't even know if this is working. Mark - Mark, are you there? Are you screening your calls? It's Mom."

6. How did April die?

Answer: She slit her wrists in the bathroom

During "Tune Up #3, Mark says that April left a note saying 'we've got AIDS' before slitting her wrists in the bathroom, meaning it was suicide, not an accident.

At one point in the play, Benny and Mimi both say they dated for awhile, three months ago.

8. Are any of the main characters married?

Benny: How could I forget? You, me, Collins, and Maureen.

10. What does Benny say Maureen is protesting?

Answer: Losing her performance space
